AI (Artificial Intelligence) Salon
Facilitated by Raymond Yee
A monthly discussion group exploring how artificial intelligence is showing up in everyday life – in creativity, relationships, health, and society. Each session, participants read or watch one short piece ahead of time, then gather for a facilitated conversation. No technical background needed – just curiosity and a willingness to share perspectives.
Session 3–July 21: Details to come. RSVP for a link to the article.
